[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The guidance that came out today said students needed to have scored in the 90th percentile on MAP-M in the fall or winter, earned A's on their report cards and scored at a level 4 or 5 on their required Eureka assessments over the course of the year.  This is going to weed a lot of kids out of moving on to 5/6.  [/quote]
This does not seem onerous. It actually sounds like a continuation of the current/previous policy.

A whole thread of nonsense. [/quote]

Why do you think that? This is a big deal to a large group of kids. A child who scored in the 88th percentile of MAP testing after having an easy time all year will have no opportunity to continue in the class. Instead, that child will repeat a full HALF of the year next year at a slower pace. However, a child who scored 1-2 points higher is allowed to continue?

It would make sense if these were the entry requirements to get into the class. However, to demote kids at the halfway point based on a test given one day does not seem like nonsense.[/quote]
